  • Relationships

    John Cougar always said that it hurts so good  If it was true, I would have understood  How you invited her to dinner  When I was out of town and when I trusted you like a beginner  But at least I found out where I stood 

  • Toxicity

    I knew what I had to do  Had to get away from you  You were toxic and rude  And you were always in a mood  And you never had a clue 

  • Enraptured

    He has been captured  But if I wasn’t so enraptured  I maybe could have helped  If you had not yelped  But our relationship was already fractured 

  • Only One Way To End 

    “There is only one way this is going to end and it’s not good.  You’d be better off turning your keys in now rather than letting everyone find out what has happened.  And who you let in.”  I stared at my shoes and wondered if I should tell the truth.  Either way, someone or some…

  • Hurricane

    I knew the hurricane would be exactly like the last major storm we endured, mainly because of how my father was acting.  He was pretending like nothing was wrong, was avoiding the news and questioned me on why all the neighbors were leaving.  Nothing I could say would change his mind.  Instead, I packed my…

  • Shining

    PHOTO PROMPT © Sandra Crook  The bright sun told me he was there.  That he was watching.  A promise kept, but more often than not, it was a promise broken.  My uncle said he would always be here for me.  Would always have my back.  But now, I only felt his presence when the sun…

  • Broken

    Part of me broke the day Liam drove away.  It was part heartbreak, but mostly shame.  If I hadn’t accidentally spilled his secret, he and his family wouldn’t be moving away.  It had to have been me that spilled be the beans, but I wasn’t sure when I had done it.  I am positive I…

  • Risking an Open Heart

    Broken hearts had made me nervous from an early age.  I had started my life adventurous and had slowly withdrawn into myself.  Always safe herself and an erstwhile hypochondriac, my mother played a major role in my withdrawal into myself.  I knew she meant well, but her adamant desire for safety trumped my desires for…
